I probably at some time in my life have been called a dummy. The
word today is not as commonly used as it was a few decades ago. An image
of dumb that sticks in my mind is of chickens. Those that handle large
numbers of chickens transport them grouped in small cages. I have seen a
cage opened expecting the chickens to rush to get out, but to my
amazement only seeing an open door, not even one chicken trying to get
out. Even after being put out they try to return to the "comfort" of
their uncomfortable life. It's sad they learn to live in their own
captivity.
Have you known someone in the midst of a struggle
or maybe just a rough life, and you being able to see a clear way out
for them? Time and time again they bump into the same wall. That's dumb
we think.
Maybe though the saddest part of all this is the rest
of us that do nothing or little to help, or just being an example and
light showing them the way to move ahead.
You are the light of the world. Show others a better way of living. Guide someone to Jesus today.
